In truck driver slang, a bedbugger is “a moving van that hauls furniture.” That’s one example of trucker lingo that Martha picked up during her appearance on The Ben Merens Show on Wisconsin Public Radio. This is part of a complete episode.
Transcript of “Bedbugger”

You know what a bed bugger is?
A bed bugger? I don’t know.

I see. Yeah, that is gross. I imagine bed bugs traveling.
They’re like, free ride! Going to California! See you later, Ma!
